PTA News and Updates

Gilles-Sweet Aims to Top Last Year's Box Top Earnings!

F all is here! Welcome back parents and students, to another exciting school year at Gilles-Sweet Elementary School. The PTA would like thank everyone who clipped, saved and sent in Box Tops last year. You helped to raise nearly $3,000 for the school, and most importantly, the students!

The money raised, will help to buy much needed school supplies for all of the classrooms, as well as help fund many of the PTA parties and events planned for the upcoming school year.

The first contest of the year will begin Monday, Sept 11, and run through Friday, Oct 13. The winning class in each grade will receive a special treat, so start clipping those Box Tops today! If you have any questions, please contact Kristen Waffen at kris.waffen@gmail.com

Our goal this year is to raise $4,000 for the school and your children's education.

Look for products with the Box Top logo. Then cut them out, save them, and bring them to your classroom in zip-lock bags.

One winning class in each grade this Fall will win... an Ice Cream & Pajama Party.

Started in 1996 by General Mills, Box Tops for Education has earned over $800 million for schools across the US.
Each Box Top is worth 10¢ when collected & sent in.
